Parent of a young child who has been to the principle for throwing items in class and has hit another student.
Mary, did you know that Mr. Smith has called me from school? He told me that you threw a pencil and hit another
student in the face. You need to know that throwing pencils in class is not acceptable. I threw a pencil in class once and
the principal made me sit in the corner of the class for an hour. He had me write in my notebook 100 times that I will
not throw objects in class. He said that I would have to stand on one foot and sing songs in Spanish in the parking lot for
punishment. (example only) Paragraph model.
